Paul Simon - Mother and Child Reunion
C
D G
No I would not give you false hope
C
D G
on this strange and mournful day
C
D G Em
but the mother and child re - union
Am G
D
is only a moment away
D
Em
O - oh little darling of mine
D
I can't for the life of me
Em
remember a sadder day
D
I know they say let it be
Em
but it just don't work out that way
C
And the course of a lifetime runs
D
over and over again
C
D G
But I would not give you false hope, No!
C
D G
on this strange and mournful day
C
D G Em
but the mother and child re - union
Am G
D
is only a motion away
D
Em
O - oh little darling of mine
D
I just can't believe its so
Em
and though it seems strange to say
D
I've never been laid so low
Em
in such a mysterious way
C
And the course of a lifetime runs
D
over and over again
C
D G
But I would not give you false hope, No!
C
D G
on this strange and mournful day
C
D G Em
but the mother and child re - union
Am G
D
G
is only a motion away..away..away away
